Systems and Methods for Determining Energy Efficiency Quotients

3. The controller of claim 1, wherein the energy efficiency data is in-situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (iOAM) data that is collected by iOAM probe packets.

4. The controller of claim 1, wherein determining the energy efficiency path quotient for each of the plurality of paths within the network is based at least in part on one or more energy efficiency node quotients associated with one or more of the plurality of nodes within the network.

5. The controller of claim 1, wherein selecting the path from the plurality of paths is further based on a service-level agreement (SLA) policy.

6. The controller of claim 1, wherein selecting the path from the plurality of paths is further based on a cost policy.

7. The controller of claim 1, the operations further comprising ranking the plurality of paths from most energy efficient to least energy efficient based on the plurality of energy efficiency path quotients.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the energy efficiency data is in-situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (iOAM) data that is collected by iOAM probe packets.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein determining the energy efficiency path quotient for each of the plurality of paths within the network is based at least in part on one or more energy efficiency node quotients associated with one or more of the plurality of nodes within the network.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein selecting the path from the plurality of paths is further based on a service-level agreement (SLA) policy.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein selecting the path from the plurality of paths is further based on a cost policy.

14. The method of claim 8, further comprising ranking the plurality of paths from most energy efficient to least energy efficient based on the plurality of energy efficiency path quotients.

17. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 15, wherein the energy efficiency data is in-situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (iOAM) data that is collected by iOAM probe packets.

18. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 15, wherein determining the energy efficiency path quotient for each of the plurality of paths within the network is based at least in part on one or more energy efficiency node quotients associated with one or more of the plurality of nodes within the network.

19. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 15, wherein selecting the path from the plurality of paths is further based on a service-level agreement (SLA) policy.

20. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 15, wherein selecting the path from the plurality of paths is further based on a cost policy.
